Answer:
5 × 10^43
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
To find out how many times the number 10^55 is greater than the number 2 × 10^11, divide the number 10^55 by the number 2 × 10^11
Remember that
To divide two numbers in scientific notation, divide their coefficients and subtract their exponents
so
[tex]\frac{10^{55}}{2*10^{11}}=(\frac{1}{2})(\frac{10^{55}}{10^{11}})=0.5*10^{(55-11)}=0.5*10^{44}[/tex]
we have that
[tex]0.5=5*10^{-1}[/tex]
substitute
[tex](5*10^{-1})(10^{44})=5*10^{(44-1)}=5*10^{43}[/tex]
